Recognition Awards (Tier 2)

Those who receive the Medal of Achievement have shown a strong level of activity within their Task Force or Task Group through gaming, participation and placement in competitions and events, or having worked on small-scale projects. Nominated by a Task Group Commanding Officer or higher.

Recipients of the Meritorious Service Cross have shown consistent and dedicated service to one’s unit by having displayed a greater than average amount of activity over a period of several weeks that included participation in several projects, events or competitions. Nominated by a Task Force Chief of Staff or higher.

The Silver Palm is awarded for extended service to one’s Task Group or Task Force, such as duties that aid a TGCO or TFCO as well as being a mentor to others. Activity over a period of some time that goes above and beyond what is considered normal can also be rewarded with this award. Nominated by a Task Force Executive Officer or higher.

The Star for Distinguished Service is awarded for exceptional levels of service or activity to a member’s Task Force or the Fleet. Taking on projects for a unit or fleet office, coupled with or supplemented by exceptional levels of general activity, are often recognized with this award. Nominated by a Task Force Commanding Officer, Department Head, or higher.

The Star Cross is a medal that bridges the gap between the recognition awards and higher level merit awards. This can also be rewarded for extraordinary amounts of activity in a large-scale competition such as a Fleet Action, where the very best are rewarded for their efforts. However, for those having achieved an outstanding amount of general activity over a longer course of time, this award may also be given to reward such accomplishments. Nominated by a Task Force Commanding Officer or higher.

Merit Awards (Tier 3)

Merit Awards are the highest awards of the Fleet, given for outstanding contributions to the community or activity that goes above and beyond. They are nominated by various members of the Bravo Fleet Admiralty.

The recipient of the Jonathan Archer Order of Merit has shown consistent and long-term service to their Task Force or Fleet position. Such services however cannot be seen until taken on a whole, each individual part seen as one. It is given to those who have shown exemplary work in their position, demonstrating a keen understanding of their surroundings and helping to further their planned goals. Nominated by any member of the Bravo Fleet Admiralty.

Recipients of the Christopher Pike Medal of Valor have demonstrated their value to the whole Fleet through extreme dedication to one or more specific aspects of the organization. This can include service as a member of the Admiralty, or service on a major Fleet project. It is often awarded to those who have shown themselves to truly bring something new to their given position. However, their actions are not to be solely consigned to their specific Task Force, but instead, must show that they have had an impact outside of their respective work. One who receives this medal will be known to the Fleet at large, their impressive array of work standing the test of time. Nominated by any Bravo Fleet Admiralty Department Head.

To receive the coveted Zephram Cochrane Medal of Excellence, a member of the Fleet must have shown an impressive array of talents and qualities over a considerable length of time. Such a member will have been active personally throughout their career, continually striving for more; they will have shown leadership abilities over a wide range of positions throughout the Fleet; they will have been a mentor to numerous other members, helping them along their path; they will be a pillar of the Fleet. These are the recipients of the Zephram Cochrane Medal of Excellence. Nominated by the Bravo Fleet Executive Officer.

The recipients of the Starfleet Medal of Honor have displayed the greatest forms of ability, service and sacrifice for the Fleet. Others pale in comparison to what the holders of this award have accomplished. They will have served the Fleet for many years, often in various capacities, and their names will go down in history as some of the most impactful members. Nominated by the Bravo Fleet Commanding Officer.

Legacy Awards

Legacy Awards represent and replace many Bravo Fleet awards given before 25/04/2020. These medals and ribbons have all been well-earned, and the Legacy Awards reflect their past contributions to the fleet.

The Legacy Ribbon represents an old ribbon for which there is no current comparable award in the current system. This may mean the criteria for the award is no longer applicable to present ribbons, or the written nomination lacks sufficient detail for the OCS to award a current ribbon in its place. The Legacy Ribbon still represents a notable contribution to Bravo Fleet in past years.

The Legacy Medal represents an old medal for which there is no current comparable award in the current system.
